Teacher Farm Hand

Posted on June 16th, 2020 by Tessa DeMaster

Meet our high school teacher turned farm hand.

Charal contacted Farmer Reuben about a summer job over the winter because she wanted to learn how to farm her own land.  

Then when her school in Allentown closed, she was suddenly available to work for us right away this spring. Her first days were frigid and windy while she joined the crew planting onions.  

In the last 3 months she learned how to plant, harvest, weed, hoe, wash veggies and pack shares. 

Charal is good at everything we've trained her to do. We know she'll do well when her own farm is ready.
